Practicing Pilgrimage: On Being and Becoming God's Pilgrim People

by Brett Webb-Mitchell

Practicing On Being and Becoming God's Pilgrim People explores both the theological, cultural, and spiritual roots of Christian pilgrimage, and is a "how-to" book on doing pilgrimage in our suburban backyards, city streets, rural roads, churches, retreat centers, and our everyday life. Brett Webb-Mitchell takes the ancient practice of Christian pilgrimage and applies it to our contemporary lives.

This latest (eighth) book, ON BEING A GAY PARENT, is a practical, down-to-earth, guide that answers the questions unique to the Christian gay parenting experience, with a mixture of concrete information, illuminating anecdotes, and creative solutions.

After teaching at Duke Divinity School for over a decade, I am currently the Director of the religious non-profit, the School of the Pilgrim, leading pilgrimages around the world. I have written two books on pilgrimage: FOLLOW ME (Seabury Press, 2006) and SCHOOL OF THE PILGRIM (W/JKP, 2007). I am also an ordained clergyperson in the Presbyterian Church, USA; am a Benedictine oblate; am a father of two children; and am in a long term relationship."
